In “Real Boy,” screening this Thursday evening, Jan. 4th, at Sacramento’s Crocker Art Museum, 19-year-old Bennett Wallace navigates sobriety, adolescence, and the evolution of his gender identity, while his mother makes her own transformation from resistance to acceptance of her transgender son.

A Q&A with Joe Stevens, a musician featured in the film, will follow the screening, which is part of the UC Davis Campus Community Book Project, this year featuring Janet Mock’s “Redefining Realness.”
